Kayak into a little known cave with a hidden entrance, about 20 metres deep to view the glow worms. Exit and paddle across to the Manupirua thermal hot pools, only accessible by water. Enjoy a well-earned break and a 30 minute soak in the hot waters while taking in the breathtaking landscape of Rotoiti.
Highly trained knowledgeable guides will tell you about the area, local Maori history and legends, and glow worms. This is a soft-adventure activity, adopt an adventurous perspective and you’ll have a great time. The weather will not spoil your overall enjoyment, in fact the glow worms are at their brightest in damp conditions and the hot pools feel the best.
